Everybody knows that there is big money in being a model or a mascot. Heck, Ronald McDonald and the Red Robin are famous. Me, I am still trying to find my sea legs in this arena -- but working hard to make it all fall into place. My home inspection assistant Nutsy makes big money in his spare time modeling squirrel attire and paraphernalia.
This season, I have been working part-time as a pumpkin -- very part-time in fact. I thought that you might like to see my latest publicity shot out at Stoney Ridge Farm. I am hoping that Nutsy will soon be back from his deployment with the French Foreign Legion at that trouble spot in Algiers because, honestly, I may not be cut out for this line of work, even part-time.
I figure that I need to get out of this career before someone decides to make a pumpkin pie.

Figures. Got told that another guy is claiming he could do the job better. I asked who. They tell me some dude named Charles Buell.
Steve, all I can say is that I have never seen you look better. I like the orange look----and besides Nutsy will like all the seeds.
Yeah Charlie,
You say that as you connive behind the scenes trying to get my gig
